In order to solve this multiple initialization problem for all applications, <code class="literal">p11-kit</code> provides a proxy compatibility module.</p> <p>This proxy module acts like a normal PKCS#11 module, but internally loads a preconfigured set of PKCS#11 modules and manages their features as described earlier. Each slot in the configured modules is exposed as a slot of the <code class="literal">p11-kit</code> proxy module. The proxy module is then used as a normal PKCS#11 module would be. It can be loaded by crypto libraries like NSS and behaves as expected.</p> <p>The <code class="literal">C_GetFunctionList</code>, <code class="literal">C_GetInterfaceList</code> and <code class="literal">C_GetInterface</code> exported entry points of the proxy module returns a new managed PKCS#11 module each time it is called. These managed instances are released when the proxy module is unloaded.</p> </div> <div class="footer"> <hr>Generated by GTK-Doc V1.34.0</div> </body> </html>
